Master of Science === School of Family Studies and Human Services === Bronwyn S. Fees === All children participate in cultural practices that shape development. Meaningful, authentic connections and interactions with adults build the foundation for respectful integration of cultural diversity in the development of early childhood curriculum. The knowledge of how culture develops forms the foundation of cultural inclusion and appropriate practices in the early childhood setting. Cultural development encompasses the physical environment, the relationships built with people within the environment, and the expectations and roles placed on the child by the family, community and society. Culture is the context in which development occurs and directs the manner of development. The socio-cultural historical perspective, developed by Vygotsky (1978) and elaborated on by Rogoff, (2003) provides a framework for defining cultural development as participation and interactions among individuals as well as within the self. Research indicates recognizing and respecting cultural differences, however, remains a challenge for implementation of culturally appropriate practices.
